At 5.5 ounces, the Ti100 is one of the lightest full-featured baitcasting reels on the market. At $399 it competes directly with reels that cost twice as much and don't perform as well. Built from CNC-machined 6061 billet aluminum and loaded with titanium internals, full ceramic bearings, and a 45-point micro-adjust cast control system, the Ti100 is what happens when an engineering team builds a reel without cutting the corners other brands cut. This is not a budget reel dressed up in premium language. Every component, from the mirror-polished titanium brake pads to the ABEC-7 full ceramic spool bearings, was chosen for a specific performance reason. The result is a baitcaster that casts farther, runs smoother, lasts longer, and handles everything from BFS finesse work to flipping heavy cover without complaint.

"Trika TI 100 What an amazing Baitcaster, this thing bombs right out of the box. With a smooth retrieve comparable to that of the my Shimano metainium, and bates salty hundo. I now have two of these one at 7. 1 , and one at 8. 1 and I could not be happier with my choice to try the trika brand. If you’re on the fence just do it no regrets here. Thanks Trika"
"Casts typically can outdistance my Lews Mach Crush by an average of 10 yards. Build quality is exceptional and I expect many years of solid performance from this baitcaster! I would purchase again without hesitation!"
"Reel performance had been impressive for 1st 2 months. Ran into an issue and Trika immediately started a claim to send a new reel that arrived within 10 days. Headed down to the coast this week and anxious to fish with it again. THANKS! 🙏🏼"
"Larry and his team continue to impress and deliver with thought-leading concepts and design that culminate in the manufacture of outdoor products that exceed expectations and standout amongst their peers for the performance they provide. Very happy with both the bait- casting and spinning reels that I have bought…now two of each and eight rods. I have given away all but two other non-Trika rods. Hard to go back and fish with anything else."
"By far the best reel I have casted. One day out of the blue I came upon a video on YouTube down in Texas golf cost, i looked up the TI100. I order one and dude !! Was i impressed. I own I bates reel and about a 100 Shimano reels. This TI100 is right up there with the best Shimano. I fished it twice, on fresh water and on salt water. Loving the reel, now I have to built a rod around the reel. I’m an amateur rod builder. I like to thank Trika for a grate reel."
"I am a inshore fisherman fishing in the marshes and close to shore in AL,MS, LA targeting speckled trout and redfish. We do a lot of jig fishing. Matched my new Ti100 with a 6X Trika 6’10” med. fast rod spooled with 15 lb. braid. The combo remains comfortable on long day trips. There is no issue with throwing a lite jig. It’s perfect for me. Recommend w/o reservations."
"I am amazed! I have not purchased a bait caster in over 20yrs. Why, I was limited with casting lighter lures any distances and never got used to thumbing the spool while casting. I read the reviews on the Ti100 and bit the bullet. I did research on the best Braid, paired it with this reel and I am amazed with what I can do with this bait caster. I can cast just as far and further vs my Spin Cast reals and I have more control while jigging for Walleye. Just getting started for the Walleye season in CO but very excited. Great job Trika! It was worth price value!"
"Smooth action, i never like baitcasters, you know why!! Lol. They always birdnested!! And back fed... not this one! I love it.. need two more. A+++"
"Very light and sturdy construction! Awesome."
"Great item as all trika products"
This reel is equipped with ABEC 7 full ceramic spool bearings to provide exceptional rotation performance.
Ceramic Bearings are designed to run COMPLETELY DRY and require NO LUBRICATION.
These bearings have quicker start up inertia and hit higher RPM than Steel bearings giving you longer and more accurate casts.
Full ceramic bearings are more efficient, last longer and saltwater proof. The ceramic bearing sound in our baitcasting reels is the result of the harder material and lower friction compared to steel bearings, leading to a louder, high-pitched sound during casting. That’s the sound of ultimate performance!
